After a tumultuous college career, where will hess get drafted?Photo via 247sports.

Its never too early to think about draft prospects. In this case, the first cut of this post was saved in draft post format in June 2017. Why so early? Because that’s when we started to see collegiate “all-american” lists come out, and there’s a Freshman all-american designation for players who generally are going to be drafted in the 2019 draft.

We continually augment this post over the course of years and many posts, finally publishing just before the 2019 draft. Today, 6/3/19, the day of the 2019 draft, we finally publish.

The College players are mostly drawn from my 2015 Local High School draft coverage, listing guys who were HS seniors in 2015 who went to 3-year programs and who are now draft eligible. From that time frame, here’s the 2015 pre-season list and then the Post-Draft/post-signing coverage from 2015. Pop-up guys plus non-MD/VA native players playing at MD/VA colleges are added as they become serious draft prospects.

Jake Agnos, LHP from ECU by way of Battlefield HS. 3.22 ERA in 10 mid-week/Sunday starts and 16 games overall. #54 on d1baseball’s early 2019 list. ECU’s friday night starter all year, finished with an 8-inning dominant regional performance and may get super regional appearance if ECU advances.

Tyler Blohm, LHP from UMaryland by way of Spalding HS. 2017 Freshman all-american. #40 on d1baseball’s early 2019 list.

Garrett Stallings, RHP from Tennessee by way of Grassfield HS in Chesapeake. 20 games, 8 starts as a freshman. Struggled in the CWS regional, getting battered by Duke en route to a loss.

Conor Grammes, 3B/RHP from Xavier by way of McLean HS. Shot up to #30 o d1baseball’s Dec 18 top 50 list.

Noah Song, Sr. RHP from Navy by way of Claremont, CA. Has really shot-up on draft boards to be a 1st-2nd rounder with ridiculous K/9 rates, but what kind of Navy commitment does he have?

Nick Morreale, RHP from Georgetown. #85 on d1baseball’s Sept 2018 list. Mentioned by Jim Callis by name as a DC metro talent to watch for.
